Vanity Fair 'Recycles' Obama Cover Pic

Filed under: Media Minute > Barack Obama

Recession chic!

Above Left: The July 2007 issue of Vanity Fair featuring then Senator Barack Obama.

Above Right: The newest issue of Vanity Fair, featuring President Barack Obama.

Your eyes aren't playing tricks on you!

It's the exact same photo. Yup. Just a different background.

When contacted, a magazine spokesperson confirmed that the two covers use the same photo and that the credit inside the new issue acknowledges that Annie Leibovitz took the portrait of the Prez in 2007.

V.F. is really "going green"!

      Cover-shmover
      Since you were all about the political events during the election - let's talk about the 2 people that Obama has elected in his cabinet that are under fire for tax evasion.

      The man seems to know what he's doing…hmmm…

      Using the same photograph has very little to do with "going green", dumbass.



    22. 22

      DON CHEADLE!! Thats his name…anyway does anyone else ever get him confused with Tim Meadows [principal in the movie Mean Girls and on SNL]]

      Anyway why is he in the picture especially posed like that he lookslike hes waiting on President Obama like his butler or something…{I dont read VF someone please inform me}

      of joining the Obama
      administration.

      Now Daschle is out, not to mention he and his old lady have done their share of lobbying. Seeing the word "recycled" and "Obama" in the same sentence is very appropriate.

      "Change"…it's what Barry sticks up the asses of his disciples!



    50. 50

      Vanity Fair appears to have reused ANOTHER portrait, this one of the Bush administration, taken in December 2001, in their February 2009 issue. Cheapskates!

      Re: Milky! – Yes indeed!

      Re: RashManly – Mickey is busy squirming while Gail and Oprah's tongue cross swords on her taint.

      Don Cheadle in the background looks just like the turd I dropped off at the pool this morning.



    54. 54

      It's NOT my eyes playing tricks on me?! Damn you Vanity Fair. DAMN YOU TO HELL. Perez, thank you for being so on top of important news.

      48% of the people got it right…Obama is turning into a joke.



    56. 56

      I think it is great! I prefer the retouched cover.



    57. 57

      Who cares what picture they're using!



    58. 58

      Re: mama of two – First off, it's cuz Perez is a slow, lazy, fatass. But mostly, cuz when the post has a picture of a man he jerks off for 3 hours. Yep, that's about right.



    59. 59

      I bet he can ***** HEAR ***** really well?

      Re: M*I*A*R – Mario would not know the FIRST thing about Tom Daschle and if he can't find an article already posted so he (or his minions) can cut and past, he won't even bother. Probably better off though, I've never seen someone who knows so little about so much!!!!!



    64. 64

      Who gives a shit?



    65. 65

      THAT'S JUST LAME..USING THE SAME COVER..ESPECIALLY FOR VANITY FAIR !!

    67. 67

      OR MAYBE THE PRESIDENT IS BUSY TRYING TO FIX THE WHOLE FUCKING WORLD TO DO ANOTHER POXY PHOTO SHOOT FOR VANITY FAIR.SERIOUSLY YOUR SUCH A GOBSHITE PEREZ,YOUR ALSO A FAT UGLY FUCK



    68. 68

      Why did they airbrush Don Cheadle out of the picture? After all, he'll probably play Obama in the biopic.
